Ingredients
Directions
- Cook the rice noodles as per the instructions on the box. If you like a firm noodle, then reduce cooking time by a few minutes. Once cooked, strain and rinse the noodles under cold running water to stop cooking and then spread out in a single layer on an oiled plate or platter.
- Preheat a large fry pan on medium heat. Add the butter and oil and once the butter melts a little, add the mushrooms. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to add the mushrooms in 2 or 3 batches. If you overload, they will become soggy mushrooms.
- Once the mushrooms are lightly browned, add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes more, stirring frequently.
- Add the spinach and stir until it has wilted down. Add the salt, pepper and paprika and continue to cook until most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Remove mixture from the pan to cool and add the cottage cheese. Give a good stir and then set aside. That is one layer finished.
- Now combine the beans, cauliflower, tomato sauce and water in a bowl and stir well. This is layer number 2 done!
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Now its time to assemble. You will need an 8 in. by 12 in.(approx) casserole dish. Put the bean layer on the bottom, then a layer of rice noodles, then the spinach layer, then another layer of noodles, then a little extra tomato sauce and finally the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the oven for about 1 hour or until the cheese is nicely browned on top and the lasagne is hot all through.
Variations
- Season the top layer with Salt, pepper, cumin, coriander or other spices
- Add some fresh chopped herbs such as oregano or thyme to both layers.
